You know this is getting ridiculous. The Bernie camp on this site has gone full NAZI. They’re no better than Trump supporters.

I would never consider flagging anyone for any reason, but Bernie supporters will do everything in their means to squelch any Bernie dissent.

If that doesn’t tell you something then I don’t know what will.

It’s always been alleged that the farthest most of the left were authoritarians. I believe we are seeing it in real time.

You folks need to get a grip. I know that I’m probably facing a time out if not a ban for speaking my mind but this place should be better than that. We can disagree without trying to silence each other.

We must win in November

Losing an election gains you absolutely nothing.

You want to vote for the feel good nominee, who has no chance, then be ready to deal with the consequences.

There are candidates running who haven't had the oppo research released on them yet.

There are candidates running who have been fully vetted by the public.

If you're the gambling sort, bet with your heart if not bet with your head.

Utopia? No. Success, yes.

This is what Capitalism has wrought.

I predicted years ago that the GOP would run an 'populist' that would garner wild support. I suggested that the Dems were missing the boat by trying to be the grown up politicians in the room. That playing 'smart' politics would cost seats. Did it come to pass?

No!

Yes, we are on the precipice of having an egomaniac running the country but the American people are not fools. The egomaniac will be defeated. The main reason for his defeat will be that someone with extraordinary experience will defeat him.

I believe that the GOP will finally reap the rewards they deserved in 2008. If our President hadn't tried to coddle them when it was clear they were hellbent on destroying him we would have been in this place years ago.

The GOP is about to become extinct. The country will be stronger for it and the leftward shift is complete.

Congratulations! We'll succeed even though many here have yet to be able to see it.

Time to stop the authoritarian behavior around here.

You are not allowed to flag comment for difference of opinion.
Moderators are not allowed to let biases influence their actions.

That is all.

This flagging crap is ridiculous. I lose privileges because of cliques.

Meteor Blades this is mainly directed at you. We have many times not been on the same side of issues but you have always been fair minded about moderation of commentators on this site.

I direct you to 2 comments today that were flagged for some unknown reason and I had to acknowledge that the community hid those comments.

http://www.dailykos.com/comments/1493648/59983495

http://www.dailykos.com/comments/1493608/59982024#comment_59982024

Can’t give you the comment number on the first link because I don’t have the privilege of seeing it.

Prior to this for some reason I lost TU status. I don’t know if it was due to flagged comments or something I wrote beyond the bounds.

Will you please get everyone involved in looking not only at who gets flagged but also whether it’s deserved.

Any thoughts from Hillary supporters on policy positions that she might change?

Ok. I'm hoping that Hillary supporters can float some ideas on what could make her a better candidate. Suggest some positions that she should consider or some that she should consider changing.

Since Bernie supporters will be all over that opening paragraph like flies on shit, let me explain.

There is no changing the person that Hillary is. There is no changing the lifetime experiences that made Hillary the woman that she is. There is a possibility of influencing her thoughts on policy. She is willing to learn as evidence is presented.

There isn't much that I disagree with her on. I have been a forever supporter of hers, ever since she refused to bake cookies and take Tammy's advice to stand by her man.

My suggestion is that she look harder at Bernie's College plan. I don't get the 'we can't do it because the rich benefit'.

Any other suggestions?

With the passing of Antonin Scalia, the most important qualification for the Democratic nominee is now, if it wasn't before, electability. No one should be playing craps with their vote this year. If you really give a shit about liberal policies and laws then you won't take a chance by nominating McGovern II.

There is no evidence that Bernie could draw one vote from the troglodytes but there is plenty that he might drive away Democratic votes.

I hope folks will look at history before making what could be a disastrous decision. Please nominate a Democrat that can win the WhiteHouse. Bernie is not that person.

Hillary claims victory!

Thank you Madam Secretary, I can’t wait to vote for you in the General!

Cam Newton is a scary African American

Cam finally goes there.

So, yesterday Cam faces the media to answer questions about the upcoming Superbowl. You know, questions like "How does it feel to finally be in the big dance?" or "what will you have to do to beat the Broncos?" or any other number of questions football related.

But no, after repeatedly being questioned on why he feels he has so many detractors, he says "I think that's a trick question."

Then he finally goes there.

"I've said it since Day One, I'm an African-American quarterback. That may scare a lot of people because they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to. Oftentimes, it's funny, I get inspired, it makes me go out there and practice even harder because I remember when I was working out for the draft and I would see the Senior Bowl playing, I see these guys out there busting their tails, trying to get drafted, trying to have a job to provide for their family or themselves and it's like, here I am, I'm doing exactly what I want to do, how I want to do it."

And with that, he broke the internet. Within minutes Bleacher Report had an article up relating his comment and the bigots came out in force. They've been waiting all season long for Cam to finally address the elephant in the room so they could pounce. The highest rated comment on that article was full of nonsense about him pretending to be the first AA QB in the league and playing the race card. BR finally pulled the plug on the comment section of that article.

Well, who could blame the bigots? I mean look at that threatening answer he gave?

Let me reflect a little bit about the Cam Newton these bigots don't want to appreciate.

Cam Newton crashes Halloween party, surprises boy battling cancer

Cam Newton turned his Friday night into an unforgettable one for a 10-year-old boy battling a rare form of cancer.

Newton made the trip north to Concord, N.C., a Charlotte suburb, to join a young boy named Elijah at a Halloween block party in his neighborhood. The party was held a month early because doctors aren’t sure Elijah will make it to Oct. 31 to celebrate his favorite holiday.

Cam Newton treats area school kids to a shopping spree at Dick's Sporting Goods

As 11-year-old Jocelyn Williams bounced around the aisles of Dick’s Sporting Goods in search of the perfect pair of sneakers, she could barely tone down the mega-watt smile plastered across her face.

“How about these pink ones?” she was asked.

Still grinning, she craned her neck upwards to address the towering six-foot-five man standing next to her.

“Yeah, those are nice,” Williams told Cam Newton.

Williams, a sixth-grade student at Collinswood Language Academy, was one of approximately 20 elementary school children in the Charlotte area invited to Newton’s “Shop With a Jock” holiday charity event.

Cam Newton visits young fan fighting brain cancer

Cam Newton is one of the few superstar athletes in any sport who isn't really on social media, and even in his current pro city—Charlotte, N.C.—he's rarely in the public eye beyond the football field.

Just before Christmas last year, he made a very public appearance at a local Dick's Sporting Goods to do some good and take kids shopping.

Of course, the most cynical of fans said he did it for the publicity. (Really, this is a thing we saw with some regularity in Facebook comments.) So to those people, I'd just ask what Cam's motivation was for what you'll read below.

Newton visited with Matthew Bailey, a seventh grader in North Carolina, who is facing brain cancer. Matt has 10 things he wants to do. His church shared that list on March 27.

Cam Newton Foundation hosts Cam's Thanksgiving Jam

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, along with more than 50 volunteers, hosted Cam's Thanksgiving Jam Tuesday for the second year at The Fillmore. The Cam Newton Foundation and Second Harvest Food Bank served more than 800 underprivileged kids and some family members a traditional Thanksgiving meal. In addition to the meal, all guests received a fryer chicken, a bag full of canned goods and a pie at Cam’s Thanksgiving Jam.

See how scary Cam is? How can you blame the bigots for their feelings?

Go Panthers!

Why in the world is this so called reality based website continuing with the ridiculous notion that if Bernie wins the nomination we'll all support him in the general. Of course we would but to pretend he has any chance is not reality based.

It pisses me off that for every election in my lifetime I had to make a decision basically for Supreme Court nominations. It's especially true in this election and for the starry eyed, you are taking a chance on having Tea Party racist rule on the court for years to come.

Hillary would wipe the floor if Trump was the GOP nominee. Bernie would get the white intellectual vote.

Stop walking on eggshells paid editorialists and bring back reality based opinions.

Sure, we stand with France but it's also time to squash incorrigible Religionists

So here we are again with another inconceivable attack against innocent civilians BECAUSE we think Democracy is the best answer for all of humanity. Guess what, some societies aren’t conditioned to fit in an Democracy. They are too hell bent on their theological teachings to ever accept freedom of thought and deed as a concept.

We’ve got GW Bush to thank for proving this.

Take me back to the days of Dictators willing to crush maniacal dissent.

I propose that the free world and Russia and China sit down and partition the Middle East again, propping up dictators of our choosing. Split the oil three ways and give some price guarantees so that the ME won’t be hurting as they are at $40 a barrel.

This will definitely entail boots on the ground from the coalitions but a few miscreants against the world stand little chance. Sort of like Hitler against the world.

Unless and until the Islamic heretics are brought under control, either by their own people or by force, then give me a strong Dictator to render them harmless to outsiders.
